Local school districts begin summer meal programs
Starting June 1, summer meal programs across Texas will start providing to-go meals for children ages 1 to 18 across local districts. However, guides for social distancing are creating major changes for the annual program. Check with your student’s district for times, locations, and additional information.
Because of eased requirements from the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), students are no longer required to be present to receive meals. Parents will need to bring one of the following documents to a meal site:
• Student ID card
• Individual student report card
• Attendance record from parent portal of Skyward
• Birth certificate for students
Without the listed forms of documentation, parents will receive meals for the number of students present, whether on foot or in vehicle.To find a nearby meal site and hours of operation:
• Call 211, or
• Text FOODTX to 877-877
